Day 15

[pandatrash]

[There are really only two important things to note about Day 15:

One, your tablet informs you that there's a killing night tonight! Tonight we're back to normal; only one murder, please!

And two, there is shitty prepackaged deli sushi in kitchen. So uh, y'know. Enjoy that.]

Where?

[looks like he's willing to be helpful??]

[purrtagonist]

[Seto you are sweet]

In there-- [jerks the thumb of his good hand towards Ichigo's room]

Wait out here, I'll be right back.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[no? at least, not enough to volunteer with actual words, so he'll do as told]

...

[purrtagonist]

[a good Seto!!]

[Akira slips back into Ichigo's room and is gone for all of ten seconds before he reemerges, pillow tucked under his arm. he takes a seat against the wall near the door, propping up his injured leg in front of him, his non-injured leg tucked underneath]

So how are you holding up, Seto?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[shrugs]

Shouldn't that be my line?

[purrtagonist]

I stole it from you first.

[holding his hands out for cards]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

They really need to do something about these pickpockets, it's really becoming a problem.

[passes him a deck]

I'm fine, considering. So now the question's mine again.

[purrtagonist]

There's no police force here to clean up the neighborhood. I think you're going to have to deal.

[shuffling the deck]

. . . I'm fine. I slept for most of the day, and when we're done, I'll probably sleep some more.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Pity, this used to be such a nice neighborhood. Our poor property values.

[careful]

And is that sleeping or repeatedly waking up?

[purrtagonist]

Whatever are you going to do about the price of real estate now?

[he's being careful!]

Actual sleeping. Waking up every now and then to eat, but mostly sleeping.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

It's a shame. At least my property taxes should go down.

[good]

If you've figured that much out, good on you. Staying down long enough for it to count as actual sleep is more difficult than popular media would have you believe.

[purrtagonist]

I slept pretty well before I came to this place, actually.

[time to lay out the cards just like Kaiba taught him for an impromptu game of DUEL MONSTERS]

And I think my body is angry enough that it isn't going to keep me awake against my will.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[good boy. we'll make a pro duellist of you yet]

I've never heard of angered sleep before. I'd think I'd do better at it in that case.

[purrtagonist]

[one day he'll kick Yugi's ass, too]

. . . trust me. Most of the time, it isn't worth it.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[look,]

Fair enough.

[plays a card face down then ends his turn]

...Three more nights, right?

[purrtagonist]

[also places cards down in some. . . meaningful order, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY DUEL MONSTERS!!]

Supposedly. For those who managed to make six friends, that is.

If we don't drop down to ten players or less before then.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[good because neither do I. kaiba does some sort of appropriate response]

If someone successfully partnered with a new person every night until now, they should only have two more to go. If they're allowed to matriculate out...that will also take the numbers down.

[glossing over the dead guys along the way but]

[purrtagonist]

[Akira's response is also appropriate, albeit probably not the most efficient move to make, as he is still a novice]

[but he nods, agreeing with Kaiba's numbers]

And I doubt anyone who managed to make six friends is going to stick around for longer than necessary. So. . .

Three more nights.

[he breathes out those words, like. . . he's seeing the actual ending to this game for the very first time in two weeks]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

The hardest and longest part of any project is when you can start seeing the end. Don't get careless.

[purrtagonist]

[tilts his head up and flashes Kaiba a confident grin]

Do I seem like the kind of guy who lets down his guard in the final stretch?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Not particularly. But that doesn't mean that things aren't going to ramp up in preparation for that.

...Also, you've activated my trap card.

[oh snap? whatever it was akira's monsters were doing, they're not doing that anymore??]

[purrtagonist]

What the-- damn.

[THEY SURE AREN'T DOING THAT ANYMORE. he curses, and then draws another card, to do some other things to try and counter that trap??]

I've survived this long. I'm absolutely not about to give up now.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[Hm, those things actually countered pretty well, not bad. Kaiba uses some other cards instead and then ends his turn.]

You'd better not. Someone has to be able to make it out of here who can do something about it later.

[purrtagonist]

[HA HA. Akira's laying down some trap cards of his own now. fight that, Seto Kaiba]

You mean find whoever is responsible for this and kick their ass ten ways to next Sunday?

[a snort]

I might be interested in doing that when this is all over.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[he could, but instead he puts some monsters in defense position, since I'm pretty sure that's a thing]

I'm sure plenty of people "might" be interested, but you seem the type who could work out how to make it happen.
